AND by the looks of things, their teacher was just as hesitant with his movements as the rest of them.
He might not have noticed her movement had first had he not registered the smaller angle he looked down to look into her face. It was then the older Gryfindor saw that Selina had moved closer to him, whether subconsciously or on purpose he couldn't be sure. "Well then....I'...I best be glad ye...decided on me," he managed to remark getting his voice back, catching her soft tone as they very nearly stopped.
Selina shut her eyes and internally cursed herself for her slip up. She was doing so well, but Gideon had caught her off guard challenging her back with smirks at all of her remarks. Most people she knew never challenged her. In fact, she could not think of the last person who had challenged her besides Adam... and well he was being more of a prick than challenging her. It felt kind of nice to have someone who wasn't really afraid of her. Although she was small she knew that she packed a serious punch. She was glad that someone was finally punching back.
After she made her comment to him she wondered why Gideon was taking so long to reply to her. Finally he seemed to find his voice and he stuttered a little bit. Was it something she said? She didn't think she said anything so offensive so was just trying to pay him a compliment. Without even noticing it Selina stopped dancing. She looked up at him, her hand still in his and her arm resting on his,
"Are you alright?"
